Tom Daley is starting his own diving academy

The host of TV show Splash is opening his academy at the London Aquatics Centre, where the Olympic swimming took place in 2012.

Speaking to BBC Sport, the 19-year-old said: "Hopefully it can inspire the next generation of divers because we've got amazing facilities in London - we just need to utilise them with kids coming in.

"It's my aim that in ten years' time, they are the ones that are on top of the diving board and hopefully on top of the podium."

Those that don’t live in London will also be able to take part in the academy, as courses will be run across the United Kingdom.

The news comes as Daley reveals he’s gotten back into training in time for the Commonwealth Games starting in July and has been told by his coach that he needs to cut back on his favourite foods to get back in shape for the games.
